Oh, that makes sense
Well, Tesla is a US company, as VW/Bayer was/is a German company.
The UK government took stewardship over VW after ww2 https://www.hagerty.com/media/automotive-history/how-major-ivan-hirst-and-the-british-government-saved-vw-after-wwii/
It also took bayer 30 YEARS to re-establish as a brand.
I would question VW/Bayer’s “driving force” behind the Nazis. There is some amount of “well, I guess we are doing holocaust now” kinda thing.
Regardless 80 years on, an entire world war, and massive trials… I feel like they have paid some dues.
No doubt still a shitty corporation, but unlikely in support of actively firing the people maintaining the nuclear arsenal, thinking internment camps are efficient (and they still have a “DEI” page https://www.volkswagen-group.com/en/diversity-and-inclusion-16087 (although their single mention of LGBT+ has an asterisk next to it which doesn’t seem to reference anything))
fElon owns a social media company. He is frauding governments, engineering the collapse of social support programs and science, gaslighting/propaganda-ing the population/government (felon controlling the government: https://truthout.org/articles/aoc-pharma-reforms-had-almost-unanimous-house-support-until-elon-musk-tweeted/ or https://www.forbes.com/sites/gebai/2024/12/31/blame-the-game-or-the-players-regulating-pharmacy-benefit-managers/ ) while his party engineers book-burningbanning, science denialism, creating lists of trans people (non-conformants), detaining people based on political opinion, and is starting a very aggressive trade-war.
Never mind the drugs fElon is on.
So yeh. There are lessons to be learned from ww2.
There are still companies around from then, and they have changed.
There are probably more scientists working for the US then there are Nazis working in the EU… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip
But all that shit is documented. And now we can call that shit out a few weeks into the issue instead (hopefully instead) of having a big world war about it.
I would say cudos to VW and Bayer for being able to still be companies (respectable companies?) after being such a part of the nazi war machine.
Same with Hugo Boss. And Fanta. And BMW. And Kodak. And Siemens. And IBM. Even the Associated Press self-censored their news. Oh, and Ford.

I hope we have learned. I hope Tesla is a lesson to other companies. I hope America is a lesson to other countries.
Punish that shit behaviour. Burn that shit. Don’t let it start again
Go fascist, meet actual long term damaging effects.
Not got the same ring to it, but it’s not an empty promise.
On jerboa, I see 😈 MedicPig 🐷 BabySaver 😈 as your name on all comments
As an augmentation, the ability to spot and track objects visually would be amazing.
But then planes just have to fly above 10k ft, and pretty much guaranteed cloud cover.
Echolocation is specifically audio based.
Lidar is a similar technique, but much more accurate and precise.
Project a grid of laser beam, read when the laser bounces back, you know the distance to that part of the grid.
So democrats have recently stood united?
This one is well matured, barrel aged with hints and aromas beyond my palette.
A rare meme in these times, to be sure.

Lemmy.ml is the instance run by the developers. Pretty sure there are some discussions there.
Other than that, GitHub issues. I’m surprised they haven’t enabled GitHub discussions.
Id recommend Proxmox on a cheap n100 nuc.
Makes it easy to spin up VMs, take snapshots of them, tinker and break them, then roll back to the snapshot
No.
Users that do not decrypt their storage lose their storage permanently.
Users that decrypt their storage get to continue to use it, but it isn’t not encrypted.
No encryption is broken.
Users are swapping convenience for privacy. (Or privacy for convenience? Whichever way that is).
Broken implies it is unusable or useless. As in “Apples encryption is unusable”.
This is not the case. It’s not broken. Users are given the option to remove the encryption to be able to continue to use the storage.

How many times does the letter c

I’ve seen a video of him with 2 left feet.
Not seen any proof from musk himself about this. I need some corroborated medical results and x-rays.
Even then, I probably won’t believe them
I’m sure you could mount an encrypted volume.
Or just have the keepas db on a usb stick or something
Stephen King dark tower?
No. Not western, no guns, no science, not really horror.
WoT is the whole “forgotten/suppressed magic, ‘the one’, forces of long imprisoned evil” kinda fantasy, along with a rise to power, world politics, massive battles, adventure, and - I guess - romance.
Has a lot of the tropes, but carves a great story and adventure.
I genuinely recommend it. I’ve read it 3 times, and I enjoy the TV series.
It’s a 15 book epic fantasy, with the last 3 books written by Brandon Sanderson according to (deceased, 2007) Robert Jordans notes.
It’s good.
It has it’s faults, Robert Jordans writing has it’s faults.
But it is good, a great story, a great adventure, a great over-arching story. And 15 books long, makes it great read to sink into and enjoy.
I feel like “look at twitter” is probably enough of a defence to decline president musk.
It would probably need to be wordier for court proceedings.
My experience of checksums are in things like serial where they can potentially recover a corrupt bit.
I presume in the case of encryption, a checksum is more of a hash of the raw data? Like a one-way deterministic compute. Easy to get a hash of data, extremely difficult to get data from a hash.
In which case, it’s fine. Passwords are hashed (granted, multiple times), but a cryptographically secure hash is not to be underestimated.
Not a lawyer.
But how to “cover your ass”.
If pressured to still send a quote with it included, ask your manager to email over the details - ie get it in writing.
You are looking for them to tell you to include this unprovidable service in the quote as part of the details/instructions.
IE your manager to tell you to do the unethical thing in writing.
And respond back along the lines of “as discussed, we can’t provide this service and can’t procure it from the upstream provider. However I will do as instructed and email the quote to the customer with this service included”.
This is indicating that you have discussed it (ideally save any other emails about this subject).
If your boss emails back “we haven’t discussed this”, then raise the issue in writing and don’t send the quote until it is resolved by email (if your boss talks to you in person, feel free to send a “follow up” email outlining what you discussed and ask for clarification).
If your boss emails back “do as you are told”, then do as you are told.
Save all the emails.
BCC to a personal account will be seen in server logs. Better to export backups or take screenshots and put them on a USB. Or ZIP them with a password and find a way to exfil them without raising red flags if USB devices are restricted. There are many ways to do this, I’m sure I can suggest some.
Generally, working under instruction where your pushback might lead to termination generally results in unfair dismissal and settlements.
Especially if you can prove that you have raised the issue, and still been told to proceed.
It doesn’t sound like this is a risk-to-life or risk-to-public scenario, so I don’t think “whistle blower” procedures are needed.
